BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Wonder World

Ruby: My name is Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY! Thanks to Sonic being Sonic, Eggman lost control over the Deadly Six and Anti-Venom and are now on the loose. We fought another one of the Zeti. He calls himself Master Zik, and for an old guy he was really tough, but we still managed to kick his butt. But it makes me wonder. What do they have plan now they are free?

Issue 7: The Enemy of My Enemy Is...?

Tropical Coast Zone

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Sea Bottom Segue

"Last one to the end is a rotten Eggman!" Sonic grinned. Our favorite blue hedgehog is seen racing with his friends grinding on grind rails while avoiding on-rail minecarts deep inside simply a breathtaking, beautiful underwater tube to the nearest Capsule.

"Why not slow down to take in the sights?" Spidey quipped, grinding on rails as well.

"You're asking the World's Fastest Hedgehog to slow down? Impossible, my man." Sonic quipped back, then looks ahead when a Sea Feilong Grimm and a giant yellow moray-based Badnik called an Utsubo rise out from the watery floors to destroy parts of the grind rail the hedgehog was grinding on. "Hey, fish necks, I'm riding here!" Sonic jokes, jumping off the collapsing rail to destroy the monsters with his Homing Attacks before landing down on another rail, "There."

Ruby's too busy looking around in awe inside this underwater tube they're in, finding it very calm and beautiful. Nothing that she's ever seen before in her life. "So far, I'm loving the Lost Hex. There's something about this place that feels "magical" and "gorgeous" to travel through. Makes me wish we brought the whole gang here."

"Too bad its home to such nasty company." Tails responded, referring to the dangerous Deadly Six and Anti-Venom.

"Does anyone else live here beside the Zeti?" Ruby asked.

"Besides the animals and Wisps, it seems the Zeti are the only ones that live up here." Tails answered.

"Are there more Zeti besides the six we've seen?" Peter asked him.

"Possibly. Or maybe they've been extinct for centuries and it's only those six left. I don't really know for sure. There's a lot about the Lost Hex that's unfortunately lost in history. No one truly knows everything about it." Tails speculated on the possibility of more Zeti.

"Be glad it's just six of them and not a hundred we have to deal with." Sonic said, thinking fighting dozens of Zeti with similar powers to the Deadly Six could be very troublesome.

"Right on that." Peter remarked.

BGM End

For a little longer, the heroically young gang grinded on the rails until they approached their destination: Another planetoid holding a Capsule and a road that leads back outside above the watery tube. "Mine!" Spidey says, freeing the animals encapsulated.

"Alright, let's get outta here before my anxiety realizes we're standing in the middle of an ocean." Sonic joked, watching Peter jump down from the capsule. As they walk out of the tube, Peter feels his head slightly aching and shakes it off. It seems to be his Spider-Sense reacting to something but can't figure out what's the problem.

"You alright, Peter? You look a little lost." Tails asked in concern for his friend.

"I'm fine. I think. Not quite sure." Peter replied, confusing everyone.

"What's up?" Sonic asked him.

"My Spider-Sense was acting up, but I'm not sure why." Peter replied.

"Doesn't it always tingle whenever bad stuff's about to happen?" Ruby asked.

"That's one of its many features. Everything seems peaceful." He says as they return to the peaceful and quiet beach area. "Maybe this thing's on the fritz. It tends to happen." He playfully knocks his head to determine the problem with his Spider-Sense.

During their walk through upper side of Tropical Coast, Sonic's Miles Electric receives an emergency call from Amy. "An emergency call from Amy? Think I might've figured out what triggered your Spider-Sense." He said, thinking whatever's happening down on Earth, it's massive, and it triggered Pete's Spider-Sense all the way from Lost Hex.

"Did something happen in New Vale? Hurry and answer it!" Spidey hurried, with him and the others getting a bad feeling as Sonic answers the call.

New Vale City, Central Park

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Eggman's Secret Weapon

The city is in a panic. People running for their lives as something from the sky is vacuuming energy in the form of a deadly, misty-looking green hurricane around the city, killing all life from plants to animals, even the people as their life energy is drained, leaving their bodies to drop on the ground as groaning old husks of their former selves. And it's not just New Vale City that's experiencing this. The entire planet is being drained of its energy. In a few hours, the entire world will be left in a lifeless state.

At Central Park, Team WBY, Team JNPR, Mary Jane, Amy, and Knuckles are staring to the sky in fear as Amy calls up Sonic from her Miles Electric. "Sonic? Something bad's happening." She told the gang on the Lost Hex.

'What the hell…' Peter said in horror as his gang are witnessing this disastrous event from her screen.

'What's going on?' Sonic asked her.

"I don't know. It's like something in the sky is draining the life out of the world. Plants, animals, even the air feels cold and dead." Amy said with a miserable face that looks back to the vacuuming sky.

"It might be Galactus!" MJ blamed the cosmic Devourer of Worlds, which does fit his M.O.

"Possibly." Yang casually joked.

"What?! Galactus?!" Jaune remarked, scared and taken aback in fear the planet eater might have arrived to eat their planet.

'I don't think it's Galactus. We would've noticed him eating the planet. He's kinda hard to miss.' Spidey objected, thinking Galactus is not involved in this calamity as they've would've noticed the giant cosmic being, who can be as big as a planet, arriving to destroy the planet. 'I have a gut feeling whatever's happening to the planet started here on the Lost Hex.' He said, believing the solution to saving the planet is on the lost continent they're in.

'You guys escape to a safe place, and see if you can contact the Avengers and Freedom Fighters and tell them what's going on. We'll try to figure out things on our end and stop it.' Sonic told them.

'Stay safe down there. We'll talk soon!' Ruby assured them everything will be alright. Amy nods before ending the call, staring worriedly around her surroundings to see everything slowly getting the life sucked out and dying away, leaving nothing but a withering, whiteless environment.

BGM End

Lost Hex, Tropical Coast

Now aware that things aren't looking so good on Earth, Spidey's group hurry through the rest of Tropical Coast to find out what's absorbing the planet's energy. During their run, Peter senses a familiar walking stick being thrown at them. "Watch out!" He exclaimed in time for everyone to dodge the stick.

"Isn't that…" Ruby points at the stick, recognizing it belongs to an old foe, an actual old foe, they just fought not too long ago.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST-Master Zik's Warm-up

"Your time is almost over, brash children."

The heroes look to an upper platform to see the calm and deadly Master Zik standing on it, "I shall prepare for you a lesson in respect. A painful lesson."

"Oh, someone's gonna get taken to school, all right." Sonic quipped, wiping the dust from his body.

Zik jumps towards the heroes and grabs his stick then points it at them. "Follow, if you dare!" The old master threatened, then leaps away for the young heroes to follow.

BGM End

During their little chase from planetoid to planetoid, as well as a venture on a standard plane field, Spidey decides to taunt Zik into slowing down for his beating, "C'mon, gramps. You afraid to lose or what?"

Zik grunts, "I believe it is now time we drill some skills into you punks."

"We?" Peter questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"EEYAARRRGH!" A monstrous roar followed up a loud, powerful stomp blows back Zik's pursuers through the ground, standing up straight to reveal its Anti-Venom sticking out his disgusting long tongue at his enemies.

"Anti-Venom?!" Ruby exclaimed in surprise to see the vicious symbiote again.

"How did you not see him coming?" Sonic asked Peter why he didn't sense him about to attack them.

"He's invisible to my Spider-Sense! I just told you that like 30 minutes ago!" Spidey retorted.

Zik hops onto Anti-Venom's shoulder and starts taunting the children, "I believe you youngsters refer to a beating as eh...'being schooled'? In that case, class is in session."

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Anti-Venom roars ferociously at them, preparing his rematch with Master Zik against their most hated enemies.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST- The Deadly Six Theme (Orchestra ver.)

"We'll crush anyone who gets in our way!" Anti-Venom roared, extending his tendrils for Zik to run on and fight Ruby and Tails at the same time. Spidey and Sonic are busy dodging the many claw swipes and tendrils strikes from Anti-Venom. The raging symbiote roars as he throws a punch that forces Spidey to block with his arms, almost breaking them upon impact, until Sonic kicked the villain away.

"Me and Tails got toothpaste man! You got help Ruby against the old blueberry!" Sonic commanded, wanting he and Tails to fight Anti-Venom while Spidey and Ruby fight Zik.

"No! That's not an option!" Peter objected, wanting to help him fight Anti-Venom instead.

"GROAAAGH!" Anti-Venom extended his stretchy fists to punch the S.S. duo backwards. They managed to flip in mid-air to reorient themselves as they recover on the ground.

"It's my option! If you or Ruby gets too close, he'll drain your powers forever! We'll hold him off until you guys defeat that Zeti, then we'll team up to finish this guy!" Sonic highly suggested that this is the best course of action against their seemingly unstoppable foes.

"Understood!" Spidey reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Spidey leaves to fight Zik while Sonic battles Anti-Venom, "Tails! Gonna need you here, buddy!"

While Zik clashes with his stick against the combined might of Ruby and Tails, he gets blind-sighted by a kick from Spider-Man, allowing Tails to respond to Sonic's call for help while Peter takes his place fighting the old zeti. "Coming!" Tails jumps over to Sonic's side, confronting the grimacing Anti-Venom.

"Outta my way, squirts! I'm here to kill Spider-Man! Step aside and I'll eat you later!" Anti-Venom said, throwing a tendril whip to cut off the mobians' heads.

"What's your beef with Spider-Man? You two didn't meet until today!" Sonic asked, with he and Tails jumping over his whip and hit him with a Homing Attack to the head.

"That accursed spider is the bane of my existence along with the rest of humanity! They must suffer!" Anti-Venom retorted, blasting the hedgehog with a stream of symbiote goo off the air back to Tails.

"Tails! Blue Bomber!" Sonic said, prompting the fox to get ready for their co-op attack. As Sonic confuses Anti-Venom by running around him and leaving afterimages to keep him occupied attacking, Tails flies up to the air for Sonic to jump up and grab his hands. The yellow fox does two flips in mid-air while holding onto Sonic before throwing the hedgehog with increased momentum to deliver an extra powerful Spin Attack onto their target, then rebounds from the symbiote to deliver an additional strike, planting Anti-Venom's face to the ground until he recovered.

"A meal has no right to beat me down, not from spineless worms like you! Death Bite!" Anti-Venom summons a rush of symbiote tendrils moving across the ground to almost hit the mobians if they didn't jump up, but that's what he wants. Anti-Venom then lunges forward, morphing into a giant mouth to swallow them up whole before turning back to his normal form. "Aaah. Dinner has been served." He joked, patting his stomach. Seconds later, he feels his stomach rumbling, as if he's being attacked from within. "Stay in my belly, you bothersome rodents!" He said to his stomach.

With a loud boom, Sonic and Tails burst out from Anti-Venom, leaving a huge whole in his chest as he falls down. "That was not pleasant…" Tails covered his mouth, feeling sick after being swallowed up by an alien.

"Urk. Yuck. I hate being people's lunch. Much less an alien without dental care." Sonic joked, wiping off the symbiote slime from his body. The two look back at Anti-Venom's body that quickly stands back up as the symbiote heals itself, recovering most of the damage he was dealt with, mostly the huge hole in his stomach. "Oh great. He can self-heal. Can't we catch a break?" Sonic joked, shrugging.

"I will strip the flesh from your bones! Both yours, and Spider-Man! I will destroy him! END HIM!" Anti-Venom's malicious anger towards Spider-Man has fully awakened his dark Aura, enveloping himself in a vicious white-and-black energy that corrupts the winds itself.

"And he has an Aura. That's swell. That is very swell." Sonic responded sarcastically, hating that Anti-Venom also has an Aura similar to Huntsmen like Ruby.

"His seems different. I'm seeing readings it's a mix of his own natural aura and incredible amounts of residual ISO-8 energy emanating from his body." Tails informed him after checking with his handheld to make sure.

"Things are never easy whenever that stuff pops up." Sonic joked about how the ISO-8 always gives them trouble whenever it appears to aid the villains.

"GROOOOOOAGH! KILL YOUUUU!" Anti-Venom roared, bursting out his new "Sym Aura" to increase his already frightening powers to the next level to give the mobians a much scarier challenge to contend with.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man and Ruby are working together against Master Zik and his masterful combat skills that continue to give them trouble. "Some lessons can only learned at the end of a boot! It is time to TEACH you two those lessons!" Zik threatened, almost hitting the Huntsmen if Spidey didn't web up his staff in time.

"You said with a boot, but I don't see no boot! Only a very old talking blueberry with a stick wearing no type of boots whatsoever!" Peter quipped, firing web bullets Zik either dodges or deflects with extreme ease as he shows off his acrobatic skills. The old zeti telekinetically summons numerous fruit to surround him, acting as a force field for himself. Spidey leaps in to punch his fruit barrier, "Ha! Like that would stop-!" He shuts as Zik electrifies the barrier to stun Spidey, electrifying him until he gets blasted back to Ruby's side, "Okay, that didn't make sense. I thought fruits were juicy, not electrifying."

Zik throws more giant electrified fruits after them and managed to hit them with some of them. "I'll tell ya! It is glorious to battle once more! I feel like I'm a hundred years old again! Perhaps when I'm finished, I'll go clubbing!" He said while attacking the two heroes.

Ruby shakes her head after being hit by another apple, then gasps as she sees a giant, spiked lychee nut closing in on her. "Spidey! Send it back!" She ordered him.

The webhead quickly spun a web to grab the nut before it hit his little sis. "Around n' around we go!" Peter spins a few times in place, then throws the giant nut with enough force to partially shatter Zik's fruit barrier. "It's time to juice!" Peter leaps and does a Web-Strike on Zik inside his broken barrier and proceeds to clash with him. "Hey, Zeti Yoda. Want to give me some cryptic tip what you hornheads are doing to our planet?"

"You'll learn soon enough, sonny, if you live long enough." Zik replied, blocking some of Peter's punches and kicks.

"Knew you were gonna say that. Thanks, Yoda. You've been a big help." Spidey jokes as he webs up Zik's face.

Ruby managed to spot a Drill Wisp capsule that was released from lychee nut. "This'll do." She says, absorbing the Wisp's power to drill underground.

While Peter is keeping Zik busy, the zeti slowly hears the sound of drilling underneath. "Am I hearing things? Where's that racket coming from?" He asked.

"You losing?" Peter joked.

Underneath his barrier, Zik is attacked by Ruby's drill weapon, launching him out of his destroyed barrier and bounce on the ground for a bit, but that doesn't mean he's done yet, so Spidey decided to put an end to him with a fast-hitting spider combo. "Let me show ya something a kung fo master taught me!" Peter unleashes a devastating, lightning-fast combo that utilizes the Way of the Spider, a modified version of Peter's own combat style, Shang-Chi's martial arts, and even Iron Fist and Ryu's way of fighting, allowing him to get up close and personal to his opponents, striking with spider-speed and hitting with spider-strength combined with his Spider-Sense, more than enough to defeat an expert master like Master Zik.

"Incredible…Who knew you were hiding such skill?" Zik said, weakened as he could barely stand even with the use of his stick.

"Guys! A little help!" Sonic called out to two as he and Tails are having a little trouble fighting the Aura-enveloped Anti-Venom.

"Anti-Venom has an Aura?!" Ruby remarked, shocked.

"Oh goody. Like he wasn't hard enough before." Peter joked, webbing up a nearby Rocket Wisp capsule to absorb and grant him rocket-based web powers. He runs over to barrage Anti-Venom with Rocket Web Blasts, getting the symbiote's scowling attention.

"Finally beaten the old man, eh? Now it's my turn to kill you!" Anti-Venom said, throwing an extended fist attack at Peter.

"Flattered, but I prefer we do a little dance first." Peter joked, dodging the symbiote fist to allow Ruby to slice off the arm, causing pain to Anti-Venom, and even more pain as she cuts off his other arm before Tails flies around blasting him with a repulsor ray from his Arm Blaster and then Spider-Man uppercutted him straight hurling to the air.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Anti-Venom declared. In mid-air, he unleashes a swarm of tendrils from his body back down and almost pierces the heroes as they barely dodge them. Sonic was the only one who went on the offensive, running up and switching from tendril to tendril towards Anti-Venom so he could briefly charge up a Spin Dash and combines it with a Boost to strike him with. The hedgehog prepares for the finishing Homing Attack as Anti-Venom reforms his arms and punches Sonic in the air, but thanks to Peter's quick thinking by spinning a webline for him to grab and be pulled towards Anti-Venom, he defeats the crazy symbiote with a powerful Spin Attack, launching him down to the ground right next to the defeated Master Zik.

"Ow…My back…I suppose that's it for today." Zik complained, tending to his wounded back.

"GRAAGH! This isn't over! You're still my prey for me to feast upon!" Anti-Venom declared their fight is far from over. After grabbing a hold of Zik, Anti-Venom flees the scene with a few web swings accompanied by giant leaps.

BGM-Sonic Lost World OST- The Enemy of My Enemy Is

"Good thinking cutting off his arms when you did. Made things a little easier." Peter complimented Ruby.

"That guy seems to have it out for you. Any idea why?" Ruby asked, wanting to know Anti-Venom's problem with Spider-Man.

"I have no clue who that guy is or why he hates me so much, but we don't have time to think about that right now. We have a bigger problem to deal with." Spider-Man replied.

"A MUTUAL problem; one so large that it will take all of us to overcome it."

The heroes turn around to see Eggman and his robot lackeys reuniting with them. "Whatever. I told you, we can handle the Zeti and Anti-Venom by ourselves." Sonic reminded his arch nemesis.

"That may be true, but the rebellious swine have gotten hold of a device of mine, and they're using it in ways for which it was never designed." Eggman told them.

"What was it designed for, Doctor?" Tails asked.

Eggman punches Orbot, who punches the bodiless Cubot to project a video of the Extractor. "It's a device called the Extractor, based off Galactus's Elemental Converter that he uses to feed energy off planets." Eggman started explaining.

"Wait, Galactus?! What? Do you want to be 'Egglactus', Devourer of Eggs and Planets?" Peter joked, but still surprised Eggman built a device based off a tool of the World Eater.

"Shut up and listen!" Eggman retorted before he could continue explaining the Zetis' plan with his device. "It was supposed to extract energy from our world, but the machine is unstable. Once it reaches full power it can't be shut off. It will drain our world dry!" He finished as Cubot shuts off the projection.

"So that's what Amy was talking about." Sonic said, having now know what's absorbing the planet's energy.

"And you and Ruby just wanna go smash it, don't ya?" Tails joked, knowing those two would rather destroy anything they deem dangerous.

Ruby chuckles, "Well, yeah."

Tails sighs from her response. "What, it's what we do!" Sonic responded to his sigh.

"Oh, always your answer to everything, hedgehog. If you wish to create a cataclysmic explosion that will incinerate everything within a hundred miles that could quite possibly destroy the world, please, you and the girl smash away." Eggman responded annoyed of their simple-minded behavior.

"Sooo, we shouldn't?" Ruby replied, a bit confused that leads to Eggman face-palming from her stupidity.

"So, there's no off switch?" Peter asked the mad doctor.

"No, not anymore. I need to get to the machine and reprogram the shutdown sequence." Eggman replied. "I'll supply the brains. You will supply the brawn I need to get past the Zeti and the Symbiote." He asked, saying they should team up to defeat a common enemy and save the world.

"Oh, and you're asking so nicely." Tails quipped.

Sonic and the others chuckled, "Heh, good one, buddy." Sonic smiled.

Tails chuckles as well, "Heh, thanks."

"Man up, Tails. I don't like working with my most hated enemies any more than you do, but our entire world is at stake!" Eggman retorted.

'It's kinda your fault to begin with.' Peter thought, pinning this whole mess on Eggman.

"Pfft, yeah well, teaming up with you FEELS like the end of the world, Eggman. I'm gonna want to take a long shower by the time we're done." Sonic said, but reluctantly agrees to work with his arch enemy if they want to save their world. Now the newly-formed team consisting of the D-Avengers and Eggman walk off to the next zone to stop the Deadly Six and Anti-Venom and shut off the Extractor before it could destroy their entire world.

BGM End

KFX Here: Anti-Venom's unique Aura is called "Sym Aura". Like Tails said, it's an enhanced and intense dark Aura mixed with his natural aura combined with ISO-8 energy. Like most Auras, it can enhance Anti-Venom's strength and abilities, but 10x stronger than a regular Aura. How and when did Anti-Venom absorb ISO-8? That will be answered later in this story, but I don't mind you guys guessing right now. Later on, I might give Anti-Venom a Semblance as well. Whatever it is, wait and see.

Question of the Chapter: Who do you think Anti-Venom is?
